Journeys of A Meandering Mind

I love renting cars. Not only because you get to drive something new, and shiny, and different from what you normally drive, but because with that “rental sticker” on the back of that car, well..it gives you a special “licence”
I fly out to Vancouver all the time, and rent cars when I get there. I [...]

As I am learning wordpress, I am getting used to the idea of categories.
I made a nice taxonomy…including the category of “random thoughts”
Then I realized…that’s mostly what I have…
I think there is a redundancy here…

I spent some time with “Sheila” and the Garmin today..she is still patient, and still puts up with my penchant to mess with her waypoints ;-)
I was fooling around with the settings ( geekette, remember?) I turned on the Spanish man’s voice, who was probably saying turn right on whatever street…but it sounded like he [...]

…by realizing that your entire life journey ultimately consists

Choice of route setup (faster time, shorter distance, off road), Route avoidance (avoid highways, tolls etc.)..it even has pedestrian mode for when I’m walking around [...]

Oh, ya baby, I am a gadget gal!
Throw some tech at me, show me a new toy, and I’m all over it. I even read the manuals.
Yup, a confirmed geekette. And damned proud of it.
Now, I know that there are low tech ways of doing things, and they often have their own joys about them.
Take [...]

I have a very long list of “things to do before I go away”. I have a whole bunch of important things to do..critical stuff to arrange for this “not sure how long I’ll be gone” trip. There’s a lot to do when you are going to be gone..awhile.
One has to prioritize.
So, I am making [...]

I am going on a trip…It’s magical, because it came upon me rather unexpectedly. It’s a mystery, because I am not exactly sure where I am going. South, mostly. East-ish too. I’ll probably have to go West occasionally,( as one does have to make the occasional left hand turn) and double back North once or [...]
